WTF REALLY Happened to TOMBSTONE (1993)?

  • For many of us, 1993’s Tombstone remains the definitive Wyatt Earp movie. The film had a tortured production history, which included the sacking of the original director Kevin Jarre and Kurt Russell’s controversial claim that it was him, not credited director George Pan Cosmatos who called the shots on the finished film. Still, we already dug into that in another episode of WTF. In this one, we’re going to look at the history that inspired the film, namely Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, the Clanton’s and the iconic gunfight at the O.K Corral. Screenwriter Kevin Jarre took some huge liberties with this one in order to craft an action-packed western that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the big-budget action flicks of the time, but what in the movie was his invention, and what was real? We dig into it in this special episode of WTF Really Happened to this Movie!

      That is true about Mix. One of the problems with Earp is that he embellished his life story so much that it became a challenge at times to tell what was real and what was not. For example he boasted for a long time that it was he that killed Johnny Ringo. Course now it's common knowledge that Ringo probably killed himself rather than either Wyatt or Doc.

      @@LordBLB I looked into this a while back, and there were five rounds in Ringo's revolver -- which would be normal if it were a normal situation, or a normal person (neither of which is really true in this case). Of course, the best evidence for it being suicide is an interview with one of the coroner's jurors which was published something like thirty years after the event, which claimed that it was obvious that the bullet had passed from under Ringo's jaw and out his temple, with the bullet track still visible in the tree above his body.

    For those interested in further information on Wyatt Earp I strongly recommend the book Inventing Wyatt Earp. It is extremely well researched and does much to debunk both the haigrophies of Earp (Like I married Wyatt Earp and Frontier Marshall) and those accounts with an ax to grind against him like The Earp Brothers of Tombstone (written by Virgil's wife Allie who despised Wyatt) and Helldorado (written by Billy Breckenridge, a follower of Sheriff Behan).
    For my own taste this is one of my top five favorite movies of all time and my favorite Western by far. Stupid red sashes aside it does an exceptional job of getting the costuming of the era accurate as well as the dialect that was common at the time. The casting and acting are exceptional and it is absolutely criminal that Kilmer was robbed of an Best Supporting Oscar for his role as Doc Holliday.

    I love how "Wyatt Earp" was released like it was the most amazing western and accurate depiction of him ever, and it was hot garbage in almost everything. Then we have Tombstone, which had solid action, acceptable amounts of characters fused together, and an amazing cast. This movie will always remain a favorite of mine. Val Kilmer OWNED his scenes.
    (edit) regarding Johnny Ringo's death, it really was a mystery. On one hand, I believe Doc stated that he indeed killed Ringo on more than one occassion. But he was supposed to be in a court in Colorado at the time. However, it's possible that someone represented him in court, which would have his name still on it as "attending". Then there's Wyatt who didn't keep his story straight as you point out.
    My theory, is likely that Wyatt found him and gunned him down. No self defense, just straight up killed him. This would put him in hot water if Ringo had surrendered or was caught offguard. So... maybe Doc decided "hell I'm dying and considered a murderer anyway, I'll take the fall". Either way, it's one of the most interesting unresolved mysteries of the end days of the Wild Wild West

      Wyatt Earp is far from hot garbage but it is definitely the weaker of the two movies. It's too ambitious by far in trying to cover so much of Wyatt's life instead of sticking with the Tombstone era only. Honestly if there were ever a historical figure that needed the "Deadwood Treatment" it would be Wyatt Earp and Tm Olyphant would have been a good choice for the role. He is getting too old to play it now unfortunately. That's one of the problems with Wyatt Earp the movie to tell the truth. Dennis Quaid played the role well but even though he is only a few years older than Val Kilmer he looked far older than he was in the role of Doc Holiday. And while Kurt Russell was even older than Kevin Costner, Kurt at least LOOKED the part of Wyatt. In fact the casting for Tombstone was just better from top to bottom. Sam Elliot, Powers Booth, Stephen Lang and Bill Paxton ALL turned in memorable quotable performances. If we didn't have Tombstone Wyatt Earp would have been a decent if not exactly memorable addition to the lexicon of Earp movies and TV shows out there. But we DO have Tombstone and it suffers by comparison.

      Also, maybe "Hot garbage" was an unfair description. It had good moments. But it very much tried to embellish Wyatt Earp as an almost legendary character. Tombstone shows him more "flawed" and humane (though it does portray him arguably better than he was).

    My father was named Wyatt because his mother loved the 50s TV show and just last year I went to Dodge City, Kansas to pay my respects to the iconic Lawman whose name I also inherited. When Tombstone came out I don't think Earp was well known to people born between my Father's birth in the late 50s and mine in the early 80's because I heard tons say "so that's where your name came from." Since then there has been a strong resurgence in the name Wyatt. I gotta say, it's pretty cool to have Kurt Russell portray your namesake.

    Like Denzel Washington’s Electric portrayal of Malcolm X and Val Kilmer’s incredible portrayal Of Doc Hoilday.. I’m still baffled how these two Fantastic actors didn’t receive Oscars for both of these roles in both these incredible Films.

    The gunfight actually didn't occur at the OK Corral. The shootout actually took place in a narrow lot on the side of C. S. Fly's photography studio on Fremont Street, six doors west of the O.K. Corral's rear entrance. All Western movies about the gunfight at OK Corral have this detail wrong. It really doesn't matter to me. 'Tombstone' is my favorite depiction of this story. Great cast and great acting.

    This movie is a perfect adaptation of American Folklore/History. Embellished and theatrical as necessary. Its like how we actually recount stories to pass down but visualized perfectly in the medium of film. Truly a masterpiece.

    Great video, but I notice a huge deservice to the making of the film. They shot a different movie and the theatrical one was vastly changed by reshoots. Originally there was a much less clear distinction between good guys and bad guys. The Earps were doing bad things and the cowboys were more sympathetic. I want to see a recut of this film including the original storyline

    Considering how sketchy historical accuracy was back in those days, it's likely there are very few true accounts of anything that occurred way back then. Either way, as far as movies go, Tombstone is by far the best modern western ever made. It's damn sure the most quotable. Almost every line is a famous quote. That's when you know you have an iconic movie on your hands.

    The only fact I take exception to was the gunfight with Curly Bill . I had heard that first off, everyone left and Wyatt was left alone; plus, he stood perfectly still , and not one bullet hit him; just his coat. He did , in fact kill Curly Bill in that fight, though.

    • @IncogNito-gg6uh
      @IncogNito-gg6uh 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      According to Earp when Curly Bill's bunch opened fire Earp pulled his shotgun and dismounted. Holliday and the others turned and galloped off. Earp and Curly Bill exchanged shotgun blasts. Curly Bill was killed. The other cowboys were still shooting. Earp tried to get to his rifle but his horse was spooked and he couldn't reach it. Finally he mounted and rejoined his posse who were surprised he was alive and unwounded, especially with all the bullet holes in his clothing. They offered to go after the cowboys, but Earp said he'd had enough and they retreated.

    I was a 17 year old kid into Star Wars, Aliens and Terminator when this came out, so yeah, I missed it. Only later I started getting into westerns, but somehow this one still kept eluding me (even though I had a heavy mancrush on Michael Biehn *and* Val Kilmer as a teen). Last year I got it on bluray and finally got to see it. I'm looking forward to years of regular rewatching. :-)

    The only thing I dislike about the movie is the way Shakespeare is depicted as something foreign to the "common people" when in fact this was the height of popularity of Shakespeare and most "common people" could recite favorite selections from the plays, while at the lowest levels of society fights (and some famous riots) could break out over discussions of which actor portrayed which Shakespearian role best.

    I have such fond memories of sitting on my friend's couch watching this vhs on repeat week after week while cleaning our guns and packing for hunting trips and such. We must have all watched this movie a hundred times or more over the years and it just never got old. The buddy who's house we used to watch it has since passed on, so I really cherish these flashbacks. I was also lucky enough to visit the little town one day while driving cross country to a new Naval duty station. I was all by myself and just up and decided to make the trip out of my way. Bought a little wooden pocket knife with my name on I still have! lol Good memories. It was a beautiful day and the people were all very friendly.

    However, the movie shows that Doc Holliday left the Corral unharmed, in reality only Wyatt was unharmed during the Corral shootout and the reason for Wyatts and Docs fallout is because Doc was actually opposed to Wyatt and Josephine getting married and Doc refered to Wyatt as "a damned jewboy" (Josephine was from a jewish family).

    Interesting that Wyatt Earp went back and forth with his admittance of killing Johnny Ringo. Was he trying NOT to be official in killing him for worry about publicity or even vendettas on him? If it's more decided that he did kill Johnny rather than he had no involvement in this, then it's further interesting that this film not only goes for the story of Doc killing Johnny, but also to state that Wyatt was unable to do this, as it portrays Johnny being a faster draw than Earp. I find it a bit odd that it weighs heavily so much toward Doc being the one to kill Ringo over Wyatt. Yes the movie results of Doc vs Ringo were incredibly intense, unbearably suspenseful and altogether explosively exciting though and I loved it!
